Hello Soniccenter!
I can see that all of my Sonic 3D records from 8 years ago are long surpassed so here I'd like to announce my firm decision to reclaim some of them.
Gonna take me a while to get in the shape but my Green Grove times are already looking promising ;)


Good to be back.

Welcome back.  Good luck matching those records again.

While you're at it, could you record Chrome Gadget's strat? Sub-28 is absurdly fast.

Not sure I wanna commit myself to your challange but there's a guide posted from the days I did that. There's also a version with pics posted on the site me and my buddy launched back in 2003 and through which Rolken actually contacted me. Perhaps it can offer some clarification.

I've known about that site for years and it's the route I use. I'm just really lucky to get sub 29.

Well from my personal eperience I can say you wanna avoid the fans where you lose the most time. Once you master the rest of the route it all boils down to getting that part right. It's the trickiest part too because the speed makes timing of the jump immensely difficult. I did spend hours and hours getting it right.
You may also wanna experiment with not using your full speed as you spindash off the platform. That way it's easier to get the jump right. And I'm sure you can finish in lower28s that way quite easy.

Back to Sonic 3D.
I'm currently running Green Grove 2, Rusty Ruin 2 and Spring Stadium 2. I'm getting some nice results, it certainly feels like records in these levels can be beaten. As for the first acts on these zones, I'm having no such luck there.
Haven't progress further yet.

[FoxLuc]

So here I am. Finished my run in 25:35 which is 4secs slower than Shadow Jacky's 25:31. Gotta pay homage to the guy, that's one helluva time to beat. Anyway next I'll try to rerun:
Green Grove 1 hoping for :50 (-2s)
Volcano Valley 2 hoping for sub 1:00 (-2s)
Panic Puppet 1 hoping to beat record (-3s)
That should be sufficient to steal 1st place in total time.

In case that won't work I hope I can improve Spring Stadium 1, Volcano Valley 1 and Gene Gadget 2 each at least by one second. Let's just hope it won't come to that as it seems to be a lot of work for such a minor improvement.

Thanks for following ;)
